We played this last night and it was great. Took about an hour to learn with watching this video and going through the instructional booklet. We had the Max of 4 players with kids both age 9 and 13 that loved the challenge and complexity. I believe a missed concept of this instructional is that each player is actually a private airline owner...thus your own fleet and hanger on your personal board. You, the private airline is trying your best to make your airline be profitable and ultimately sell to Pan Am, the last "player" of each event. Unlike Monopoly, the 7 events saves some time. Knowing when it will end is great to strategize your purchase in stocks. Unlike Ticket to Ride, you're not trying to connect your planes to complete routes. You're playing against Pan Am trying to monopolize routes before you. The more airports and routes you own, the more income you earn so you can buy stocks. Also, the more you're able to sell your routes to Pan Am for profit. Overall, is was very well thought out and we all loved it. This will be a go to game now for the kids for a while.
@@veggieh8r Haven't yet, with the pandemic and all my friends and I play on TTS, so I'll see if I can find a mod for it... if it is good I'll then buy a physical copy.
So happy I saw this before playing the first time also my kids did not like the whole player one is the player who flew on a plane last. With me being a pilot they said it’s unfair
@@namvu2362 It's far easier to get things lined up just right & stop stacks of cards from sliding sideways or spinning if you place them first and then remove them.
IMHO, best game out of Prospero Hall since Disney Villainous An excellent way to incorporate simple bidding, stock exchange, & route management under the guise of worker placement mechanics. Thanks, Becca, for always keeping explanations clean, concise, and appropriately themed!!!
"Hello. I need an old school stewardess costume for this video that" "Cash up front. No returns." "No, no. It's not that kind of" "Yeah, yeah. No returns."
Yay! I hope you'll get a chance to do a Game The Game of this; it's a lot deeper than I expected of a Funko game, if I'm honest. Also, well done for fitting all this into your zen corner, Becca.
There is a depiction error on 4:50. Engineers on the directives track are not removed during the resolution phase. They stay on the board and are assigned with priority access on the next engineer phase
This game is right up my board gaming alley. Medium complexity, highly competitive, allowing for some strategic and tactical thinking. Excellent presentation.
It's awesome to see Becca Scott teaching a game! Becca it was really nice meeting you at Magic Worlds, it is probably the biggest event and only event I went to this year! Becca was really nice and very beautiful! Keep up the awesome videos!
Great explanation. However, the event card 8:58 shows a De Havilland Twin Otter seaplane. I'm surprised the publisher couldn't have found a nice picture of an actual Pan-Am clipper like the Boeing 314, Martin M-130, etc. But, I'm an airplane geek who only notices such things...
@@mpaice, I want to abstain from being as pervy as I normally am, for sake of Becca, but that outfit (combined with Becca's presentation ability) is too strong. I have to watch the video again to actually learn how the game is played.
One question I. Any figure out. The directives. If you put an Engineer and resolve it. Won’t they all be removed? How come some stay and then get priority during the start of the next event?
The directive cards alone are typically not as strong an option as other moves to expand so it’s helping mitigate that by giving you the strategic advantage of moving earlier next round.
Three questions: 1. What is the purpose of the income that is tracked on the card? 2. If I already have a route claimed between destinations A and B already, can I discard A or B card to get landing rights for same color destination C, to claim route B-C? 3. When the A-B route is sold to PanAm, does the owner lose landing rights on A and/or B. Does the owner still get to keep those cards? What happens to the airports on A and/or B?
Question If there are multiple possible routes in the expansion phase, I still don't see how it is decided which route is chosen (especially if it greatly affects the interests of the players). If Pan Am has expanded to Port of Spain, how is it decided whether it goes to Belem or Bogota (if it exapands the SA route again)? Is it the player with the most stock? What if players are tied? I don't see any rules clarification at all. Second question: The first player marker has a square that perfectly fits an engineer piece, yet I don't see anything that say that the player that goes first is down an engineer the whole game. Is that just artistic or did I miss something in the rules?
can you claim more than one route during one round (i don't think this can be)? and can you claim more than one directive card during one round ? (i think you can).
Yeah I’m on this video because I got the game and it looked so fun, but we got it set up and were reading through the instructions and I felt dumb…I just didn’t get it
I do have one question what happens if you have an airport on a tile where a panam route is, does the airport get stuck there or do you get the chance to move it
Even though we attribute the current way that airport security is run from 9/11 US terrorist attacks, it was Pan Am's lack of updating it's own safety and security measures that led to it's own downfall...more specifically, flight 103 in 1988, where a bomb was placed on board, killing all of the passengers and crew, and 11 other people from the rubble. This event is what Pan Am was never fully able to recover from, financially.
@@rexation8952 I agree about the Lockerbie bombing causing the downfall of Pan Am, but the attributions of current airport security standards to 9/11 rather than Lockerbie are correct. The standards rose a little bit after Lockerbie, but between 1988 and 2001 you basically had a metal detector, an x-ray detector on carry-ons, and spot checks on certain electronics (such as cassette players - I had to demonstrate that mine worked when departing London in early 1989, and some other poor kid's batteries had run out) to make sure they actually functioned in the years immediately after the bombing. The current TSA system, involving nude x-rays of passengers, no liquids, taking off your shoes, and such, is all post-9/11.
Rex Ation Lockerbie was only another nail in a coffin that had long been under construction, and other issues, like buying all those 747’s and deregulation were far more important.
Does anyone know if you can discard 2 times 2 cards (for example two blue, and two purple) to claim landing rights in two cities for a random yellow route?
My Dad has been a commercial airline pilot for 30+ years and can tell what plane it is by the sound of the turbine engines, I know he'll fucking destroy in this game.
I'm lost lol. Is it a new game or old game? I belong to the Pan Am Orchid Society in Miami - started yes by Pan Am Employees decades ago. In fact a few remain. One is a wise and able orchidman at 96 yrs old.
This is a new game by Prospero Hall, done with a retro art style. This is definitely not the 1961 Pan Am World Jet Flight Game...I should, know, I own that one, too
It took me 2 hours to just figure out how to play it the first time we opened that box. OMG what I and my friends wanted at that night after worked whole long ass day was something relaxing, not confusing and frustrating
The comment section of every video with Becca is just one guy commenting about the game and the rest just commenting “Becca looks good!” “You look beautiful!” “I’m just subscribed for Becca” It’s kind of funny. It’s also kind of sad.
It’s the very last action of the last phase (resolution phase). After pan am has expanded and you earn your income you can buy it. It’s easier when your actually playing it and going through the motions. Each player’s card has the list in order for what you do each round
before i heard her voice: WHO IS THAT? after i heard her voice: OOOOHHHHHH ITS BECCA. WAIT WHO’S BECCA!? (just a joke i love becca i know who she is :))
It aired. It ran. It ended. Don't think it was meant for more than that. Good show though. If you miss it and haven't tried Lost Odyssey yet, give it a whirl. Lots of the same people, including the GM. ruclips.net/video/wBOReHUhVvs/видео.html&

I think this might fall in the very shallow valley of "too complicated for most of my friends" and "exactly complicated enough for my brain to love."
I think this game is the perfect gateway for stock games, it uses them to win, but it doesn't feel as complicated as an 18XX game.
I thought that at first but one play thru after watching this video and it’s rather easy.
It’s super easy but very cut throat
@@TheRatedOniChannel Played Stockpile? My non-boardgame friends love it.
@@veggieh8r Haven't yet, with the pandemic and all my friends and I play on TTS, so I'll see if I can find a mod for it... if it is good I'll then buy a physical copy.
Picked it up at Target. This video saved me about 2 hours of learning and set up.
LoL... But the rulebook is so short, it actually takes longer to watch the video than it does to read the rules. No kidding.
@@bgm-1961 I'm a visual learner, so this definitely helped me
So happy I saw this before playing the first time also my kids did not like the whole player one is the player who flew on a plane last. With me being a pilot they said it’s unfair
well, i usually ignore this rules and use the common one player selection in my country that is gambreng
I only play this with my wife who recently flew on an airplane so she's always first player. :(
You could amend your local ground rules to "the player who flew on a plane last AS A PASSENGER".
@@alexschneider1773 where would the fun in that be!
Can I just say how much I love how you "un-setup" the game while filming and then play it backward so it looks like you are setting it up.
I'm so confused to why though.

Thanks, Becca, for always keeping explanations clean, concise, and appropriately themed!!!
Yay for using the term "moneys." :)
I have missed these soo much, its good to see Becca again and I really hope this means we get some iteration of game the game soon.
"Hello. I need an old school stewardess costume for this video that"
"Cash up front. No returns."
"No, no. It's not that kind of"
"Yeah, yeah. No returns."
Trust me... for many it IS that sort of video LOL
Given what happened to Pan Am, shouldn't the person with the most stock in the 6th round and least in the 7th win?
Round 7 ends in 1960s so that stock would still be pretty good. That’s the peak of Pan Am’s success.
When the founder leaves the company is when the game ends
Guess you’ll have to make your own event cards for realism
Not so complicated as it seems, one round is enough to grasp the idea. Superb tutorial
Yay! I hope you'll get a chance to do a Game The Game of this; it's a lot deeper than I expected of a Funko game, if I'm honest.

I watched the Pan Am show over quarantine and it was very good!
As an american that was the first thing I ever saw margot robbie in
I was kinda hoping for Mad Men in the air but it went a little too hard into the spying cold war stuff towards the end
I was hoping it would last a few more seasons.....
Wow becca looks amazing
duh
This game is right up my board gaming alley. Medium complexity, highly competitive, allowing for some strategic and tactical thinking. Excellent presentation.
Glad to see you back and thanks for the video.
It's awesome to see Becca Scott teaching a game! Becca it was really nice meeting you at Magic Worlds, it is probably the biggest event and only event I went to this year! Becca was really nice and very beautiful! Keep up the awesome videos!

@@mpaice That. That are my thoughts in Your words...
@@mpaice,
I want to abstain from being as pervy as I normally am, for sake of Becca, but that outfit (combined with Becca's presentation ability) is too strong. I have to watch the video again to actually learn how the game is played.
We are all here for Becca
I'm still confused despite watching this a few times
It's what happens when the blood rushes away from your brain to elsewhere... or so I'm told.
Me, too. I got this game for Christmas and I really want to play it, but I am very confused. 😒
@@northsidediva6465 When you finally start playing it, the game becomes very straightforward. Took me couple games to get comfortable
What a great how to play explanations! Well done!
I love the wardrobe! I’m gonna get the game just because of this video. Thank you!
Best how to play video ever
this is like a crossover between 'a ticket to ride' and 'eclipse'- i like it!
Comparing this to ticket to ride is like the Apollo to a Falcon.
The presentation is awsome. I love it.
One question I. Any figure out. The directives. If you put an Engineer and resolve it. Won’t they all be removed? How come some stay and then get priority during the start of the next event?

Really well done. Great overview and fun presentation.

1. What is the purpose of the income that is tracked on the card?
2. If I already have a route claimed between destinations A and B already, can I discard A or B card to get landing rights for same color destination C, to claim route B-C?
3. When the A-B route is sold to PanAm, does the owner lose landing rights on A and/or B. Does the owner still get to keep those cards? What happens to the airports on A and/or B?
I'm still confused... how do I play this game
You are the best!!! XD I love the video, you should seriously think about flight attendant career :)

after this pandamic, pan am seems like ancient history.
Lmao 😂
Wait, you're back? Are you going to be doing vids here and on GTS?
GTS?
Great video. This game is bizarre. Given the number of rules, I’m actually surprised that there are not even more rules.
can you claim more than one route during one round (i don't think this can be)? and can you claim more than one directive card during one round ? (i think you can).
At first this sounded like a plane version of ticket to ride but then got way too complicated to set up
That’s what I thought, too!
Yeah I’m on this video because I got the game and it looked so fun, but we got it set up and were reading through the instructions and I felt dumb…I just didn’t get it
best presenter ever
Magnífica explicación. Hoy me llega el juego, deseando de estrenarlo.
I do have one question what happens if you have an airport on a tile where a panam route is, does the airport get stuck there or do you get the chance to move it
From what she says you'll be able to move it once you run out of airports.
Artwork looks great!
Should I be noticing the setup is actually being done in reverse and played backwards?
Oh my gosh that's true, I can see it now
Yea, it's easier to get things nicely lined up in their spaces if you do it backwards.
They do this for all their videos, have been doing it for ages.
There's something of an irony of a stock purchase game based on a company that went bankrupt.

Woooo! Missed you!
Are the boardgame play video gonna be back soon ?
Anyone can confirm ?
My Dad has been a commercial airline pilot for 30+ years and can tell what plane it is by the sound of the turbine engines, I know he'll fucking destroy in this game.
That's a really clever outfit by the costumer. How did you handle the cards with those gloves on?
Can't wait to buy this one
I'm lost lol. Is it a new game or old game? I belong to the Pan Am Orchid Society in Miami - started yes by Pan Am Employees decades ago. In fact a few remain. One is a wise and able orchidman at 96 yrs old.
This is a new game by Prospero Hall, done with a retro art style.
This is definitely not the 1961 Pan Am World Jet Flight Game...I should, know, I own that one, too
It's a NEW game! Available now at Target and Target.com
Was so excited as I thought would be more like Monopoly but with planes and destinations. This seems way too confusing to me :(
Monopoly lol? Get out more.
This is the Blockbuster party game for airline History nerds, like me
I couldn't follow the rules whenever Becca filled the screen:(

@@commanderboreal1343 *I find it* kind of funny. *I find it* kind of sad.
So happy to hear someone pronounce route correctly as "root" not "rout"
I think there should be a system in the game or expasion where you could crash the pan am ownership or stock more directly.
So... Lords of Waterdeep on a Ticket to Ride map?
Excellent. They just put a link to this video instead of the manual. The manual makes it sound like the most complicated game ever.
Frankly, so does this video.
Oh! Do a how to on “kill dr lucky” please!
How many people can play
I love you Becca! Play some game solo for us
❤️
Please do a video for Aliens Another Glorious Day in the Corps.
I mean how the heck do you get stock in the first place?!?

Why don't the clocks on the right work?
Microsoft flight simulator on series x is great 👍
Nuts... I was hoping to win the game by cursing out a cabin, stealing beer and exit via the inflatable emergency slide
Slow down, what? You lost me at "We're building trimotors..."
Look like a interesting game. I my have to pick up next payday. By the way, I love the outfit Becka
Okay I'm interested ...

I want to fly Air Becca!
Sounds cool but so confusing as you are trading trees or carrots???
Hey Becca!!
Looks like the makers of this game have never heard of Australia or New Zealand.
This seems soo complicated.. I'm glad I watched a video on it before purchasing
Guam!
Watch yo jet!
Errrm, where is the "Game the Game" for this?
Held off because pandemic?
Anything with Becca.
Saw Empress Becca, CLICK, dressed as an air stewardess LIKE.
Game looks interesting as well. (Just pointing that out so I don't sound TOO creepy)
AKA well known name has gone bust reuse the name
Too cute. I want to play Pan Am with you.
In game the game once quarantine is over could you do free play if betrayal legacy with new people. Except for Becca because she’s the host of course.
new content???? ayieeee
So, Advanced Monopoly, eh?
